In my not-so-humble opinion...

when we go off on a binge, especially when you have the "I don't even WANT it" feeling..(and rest assured, a LOT of us have!) There's part of us, that on some level in our frustration actually thinks we don't DESERVE to lose the weight.

Were you having those "I'm never going to lose weight, so why even TRY?" thoughts?

TALK BACK!!

If we chalenge the negative thoughts with truth and hold them up and look at them, they won't last long. Replace the "It's not working, so why bother?" with "I'm at a plateau, but if I keep going I WILL lose weight." Replace "I'm a loser, I can't even do THIS right!" with "I'm important, and I deserve to treat my body with respect and feed it things that further my goals."

It might sound hokey, but I've talked myself out of a LOT of candy bars this way.
